This is a very strange thread... Did graphing calculators suddenly become highly prized possessions overnight without my knowing or something?

As I said though it depends of if the thief knows a lot about the existing electronic devices. Eg if he went to Staples and checked prices of most stuff to see what kind of stuff might be worth stealing if seen, and it would be more in a school that a calc is at risk.

Also I remember hearing about thieves that didn't steal at school for the sake of stealing, but as a bullying tactic. Some people's bully will steal their stuff just to annoy them (or even destroy their stuff)

I find this thread sort of funny in that only a true geek would ask that question (no bad feelings meant)

Whenever I leave class, I always reach behind me to feel the lump of my cx and 83 in my backpack, not out of fear that someone would steal it, but out of fear that I might have left it in class.

Last year i kept it in my pocket always.
